Sirach 3:13LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 13 of 34
"For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father, and a father without honour is the disgrace of the son."
In context
11The father’s blessing establisheth the houses of the children: but the mother’s curse rooteth up the foundation.
12Glory not in the dishonour of thy father: for his shame is no glory to thee.
13For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father, and a father without honour is the disgrace of the son.
14Son, support the old age of thy father, and grieve him not in his life;
15And if his understanding fail, have patience with him, and despise him not when thou art in thy strength: for the relieving of the father shall not be forgotten.
